Was never posted to Aden, but as an AQM (Loadmaster) with 99 Sqn from 1959 - 1963 passed through Khormaksar regularly and during regular trips to the Far East we slipped crews at Aden staying normally at the Rock Hotel or Crescent Hotel in Steamer Point.
A couple of screen-grabs from my 8-mm cine film showing something that caught my fancy - the firing of a gun at sunset from the Governor's Palace above Steamer Point. Those who know Aden better that me will comment better on this Steamer Point evening gun routine.
Also a screen-grab of the harbour at Steamer Point with two carriers at anchor from the days when we had a navy, with the roof of the Crescent Hotel in the foreground - happy days indeed!
All filmed from the roof of the Rock Hotel I think.
Apologies for the low resolution pictures, but this is normal for grabs from 8mm film - WT
